Juniper M7i Hardware Guide

•
Solid-state Disk (SSD)—Provides secondary storage for log files and memory dumps,
and can reboot the system if the CompactFlash card fails. SSD is front-pluggable and
hot-swappable.
•
Interface ports—The AUX, CONSOLE, and MGMT ports provide access to management
devices. Each Routing Engine has one 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet port for connecting
to a management network, and two asynchronous serial ports—one for connecting to
a console and one for connecting to a modem or other auxiliary device.
•
EEPROM—Stores the serial number of the Routing Engine.
•
Reset button—Reboots the Routing Engine when pressed.
•
Online/Offline button—Takes the Routing Engine online or offline when pressed.
•
Real-time clock—Provides real-time integrated clock with batter backup for data
retention.
•
Extractor handle—Used for inserting and extracting the Routing Engine.
•
Captive screws—Secure the Routing Engine in place.
•
Four LEDs—A green LED labeled STORAGE, a blue LED labeled MASTER, a red LED
labeled FAIL, and a green LED labeled ONLINE indicate Routing Engine status.
NOTE: For specific information about Routing Engine components (for
example, the capacity of the SSD), issue the show chassis routing-engine
command.
The router is shipped with the Junos OS preinstalled on the Routing Engine. There are
three copies of software:
•
One copy on the CompactFlash card in the Routing Engine.
•
One copy on the SSD in the Routing Engine.
•
One copy on a USB flash drive that can be inserted into the slot on the Routing Engine
faceplate.
The Routing Engine boots from the storage media in this order: the USB device (if present),
then the CompactFlash card, then the SSD, then the LAN. Normally, the router boots
from the copy of the software on the CompactFlash card.
